Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X40SAF
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X40SAF is a genuine HLQ slide-table cylinder, 20 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a ball-bearing guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 236 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X40SAF
The HLQ20X40SAF is a double-acting dual-rod slide-table cylinder pairing an air cylinder with a ball-bearing linear guide so the table moves in a straight line with low deflection. The 20mm bore and 40mm stroke provide moderate thrust over a short, precise travel range; the dual rod doubles the force and a floating joint isolates the rods from side torque. The HLQ guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, making it a good fit for clean-room or mildly humid settings.
This is a genuine AirTAC part fitted with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet; compatible position-sensor switches are CMSH, DMSH, and EMSH, which install in the body's magnetic-switch slots. We verify exact thrust, dimensions, and load-moment values from the AirTAC datasheet or on-page spec table on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC HL slide-table data. Max working pressure is 0.7 MPa. The table rides on an integrated linear guide — do not apply strong impact or large moment. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves, and overall dimensions vary per stroke — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
A 20mm bore is a mid-range choice in the HLQ line; step up the bore for more push on heavier workpieces, step down to save air where less force is needed. Pick HLQ ball-bearing for anti-rust, dust-proof guidance; choose HLS cross-roller for higher rigidity, HLH for precision multi-port assembly, or HLF for a lower profile. The AF adjuster places an adjustable rubber stopper on the retraction side only, ideal when the extension end uses a fixed stop or external fixture. Thread is PT (tapered). We confirm allowable load and moment from published tables and deflection curves before you commit to a size.
Applications
Retract-Positioned Ejector
Pushes a small part forward freely and uses the retraction-side rubber stopper to set a precise home position between ejection cycles.
Lane Diverter
Extends to deflect small parts from one conveyor lane to another, retracting cleanly with the rubber stopper controlling the home position.
Light Assembly Press
Brings a small pressing tool down onto a workpiece with guided, low-deflection travel; the retraction stopper sets the safe tool-clearance height.
FAQ
What does AF mean in HLQ20X40SAF?
AF means the adjustable rubber stopper is on the retraction side only. The extension end has the standard bumper. Choose this when you need fine home-position control on the retract stroke but the extend end is governed by a fixture or external stop.
How do I confirm the allowable load and moment for this model?
Allowable load, moment, and kinetic-energy limits are published as tables and deflection curves in the AirTAC datasheet. We verify the exact values for your bore and stroke before you order, so the published numbers are never guessed.
